We have come to the conclusion, after a rigorous analysis, that Talis Information not only provides a reliable and functionally rich library management system but is also developing a range of products and services in accord with our plans. We are particularly impressed with TalisList, which provides a guided learning environment, and with availability of quality bibliographic records from Talis Base. The provision of fully shelf-ready books by John Smith's. working with Talis Information, has been a success.

Talis List is a practical demonstration of our powerful new technical architecture".
